Freestyle:
The Victories of Dan Gable

Dan
Gable has been called the "Babe Ruth" of wrestling.
He won the Olympic Gold Medal in 1972 by not surrendering a point to any
of his opponents. This,
despite
the fact the Soviets came to the Olympics with only one goal in mind, to defeat
Gable. Following the Olympics, Gable went on to be the most successful coach
in the history of the sport. From the brutal murder of his sister that drove
him to win 181 consecutive matches, to the terrorist shaken 1972 Olympics that
earned him a Gold Medal, Dan Gable defines a true American Champion. Early
footage of Gable's life is combined with a behind the scenes view of his last
season
as the coach at the University of Iowa. This documentary presents an inside
look into the unique culture of wrestling and a rare view of this legendary
sports
figure.
